Marc Anthony Marries Model Shannon de Lima in Dominican Republic

Puerto Rican singer Marc Anthony married his girlfriend, Venezuelan model Shannon de Lima, on Tuesday in the Dominican Republic, sources close to the artist told Efe.

The ceremony was held at the home Anthony owns in Casa de Campo, in eastern La Romana province, according to the same sources.

Access routes to the area have been closed off and heavily monitored since Monday and entry into the zone is only being permitted for people with specific authorization by local residents.

Dominican singer Juan Luis Guerra and Carlos Vives are scheduled to perform at the post-wedding party, the sources said.

Anthony and Guerra are currently making their joint “Gigante2” singing tour through Latin America, which will conclude on Dec. 4 in Costa Rica.

The former spouse of Jennifer Lopez tied the knot once again in the same province where on April 2 he inaugurated the Niños de Cristo orphanage, which was financed by the Maestro Cares Foundation he heads along with Colombian businessman and concert producer Henry Cardenas.

On that occasion, the singer was accompanied by his girlfriend, who stars in his latest music video, which tells a fictional story of love ending in marriage.

Filmed last August in different spots around La Romana, the video features the song “Flor palida” and tells a romantic country tale with the singer and De Lima portraying the two lovers.

Anthony and pop diva Lopez separated in 2011 after seven years of marriage and their divorce was finalized earlier this year. They are the parents of twins.

The salsa singer’s first marriage was to Miss Universe 1993, Dayanara Torres, lasted from 2000 to 2004 and produced two children.
